I think you must like tomatoes =)

My wife and I were so excited about our garden last year that we planted about 50 tomato plants. Once our son was born in August we didn't have much time for the garden so we couldn't keep up with the tomato plants. I think we will take it a little easier on the tomato plants this year, maybe only 20 tomato plants this year =)

I can make a meal out of cherry tomatoes alone. Pick them and eat them directly from the garden. Nothing better than that! I eat them until my stomach hurts.

Yea you can't get tomatoes like that from market, nothing like a vine ripened veggie

Woohoo another look see at mad tomatoes!

The tomatoes are finally starting to ripen, and they are MONSTERS

Good update Abdul. Tomatoes look good but you need a beefsteak type tomato to see some really pumped up tomatoes . I'm not sure how well they'd do with your heat though. I was reading Danny's lips in the video and he was saying "don't eat me" .

Cheers

Cheers scotty, will be looking into getting a larger variety now that I have had success with these.

Funny I could have sworn Danny was saying he wanted to eat me :/

You probably looked away when he said "don't" .

It will be interesting to see how much larger the indoor tomatoes get since it looks the climate there might be keeping the outdoor ones down a bit in size from where they would be.

Theyre all outdoors bro. The AP ones, the bigger ones, have starting ripening, seeing it happen real fast

Planning on picking either tomm or day after at the latest before they pull the whole rig down

Old age is setting in . Not surprised I got that messed up only had a few hours of sleep last night .

so the upstairs tomatoes are just being grown in planters not in AP right? Probably why they are a little fried compared to the AP since they don't get as much water to keep them alive with the heat over there.

Yessiree Rob I agree with you on that note!

On another, got my very first big tomato harvest of AP, a good 500 grams worth!

Abdul, I'm missing your updates. I hope this year has treated you well... come back to us!

Just for you Rob, I miss you guys too and hope that the years have treated you and yours well. God Bless!





(I've been having other adventures too! Found a new passion that really helps get my fish watching jollies in, albiet aquariums are ruined for me forever)

Congrats Abdul, scuba diving is a ton of fun and I don't even have all of the ocean creatures to see but we still have a blast in fresh water lakes. I've been diving over ten years now, NAUI master scuba diver, just finished NAUI assistant instructor course a couple days ago, going to NAUI instructor training course in October. I have a scuba diving thread started on here that I've posted some of my videos to.

Super cool new hobby. Yes underwater is a perfect world. I've only dived in the ocean on vacation. I love Rob's lake dive vids too, I may have to try diving here in New Mexico in our little lake. It looks pretty cloudy though so I don't know what I'll see. Thanks for sharing both videos Abdul.
